picked up a pair of pink tongues today from scales tails, they are adult, and as laid back as a dead swan. obviously i will do my best to breed them and i would like to hear from other keepers/breeders of these under-rated skinks if you have any info that you wish to share

you shouldn't have any problems breeding them, quite large litters too! Good luck with them.

I used to keep them in the late -80´s.. Really nice and calm animals. I picked snails outdoors and gave the snails good food for about 2-3 weeks. Than in with them into the freezer. Discovered that thawed snails where very easy to pull out of their shells.

I used to keep a 2.2 group back in the 80's, fantastic lizards, and very prolific breeders.
The babies are gorgeous, love the banding.
